Indonesian alumni association of the Ship for South East Asian Youth Programme (SSEAYP) holds a selection of youth leader and assistant youth leader (YL/AYL) of the Indonesian contingent over the weekend at the secretariat in South Jakarta. On the sidelines of the training, the board of directors of SSEAYP International Indonesia, Inc. (SII) interviewed the delegates attending the sessions. As for delegates residing in other provinces, a phone interview was conducted.
The shortlist of YL/AYL nominees was made based on, among others, recommendations from the contingent's members. Apart from the peer nomination, the SII board of directors also takes account of the nominees' CVs and the roles they have played in the contingent thus far.
Director of the SII directorate of SSEAYP Astary Dyah Sutjiningtyas reminded the delegates that the SII was not seeking the best individuals to fill the YL/AYL posts. 'We are looking for the most suitable couple,' she said ahead of the interview. She also said the YL was not necessarily a male participant and the AYL must be of the opposite sex.
During the interview, several candidates of Indonesia Participating Youth expressed their willingness to become a YL whereas the others preferred assuming other responsibilities. At the end of the selection process, former YLs/AYLs reserve the exclusive right to choose this year's YL/AYL.
SSEAYP is a Japan-ASEAN youth exchange programme sponsored by the Cabinet Office of Japan. Marking its 40th voyage, the programme will kick off in October.
